Re: Why is log4net not more similar to log4j(2)?

[Dominik Psenner]

I think Piers wanted to know what differences between log4j and log4net 
caused you to start this thread.

Cheers

I'm not aware of all the differences, though I am the one that started

1.0.  I assume log4j 1.0 continued on and changed and log4net lagged 
behind.  log4j 2.0, I'm also told, is significantly different from 
log4j 1.0 and thus significantly different from log4net.

My suggestion was to "port" log4j 2.0 to .NET.  I have emphasized port 
so that what I'm suggesting wouldn't be confused with trying to make 
changes to the existing log4net to make it more similar to log4j2.  I 
see benefit in having one logging framework work on both the major 
platforms.

In my mind it would seem to make sense to have one logging 
architecture/design and have that ported to both java and .NET, as 
well as any other major languages/frameworks.

Thanks,

Could someone please explain to some of the lurkers on these lists 
(like myself) what the differences we are talking about actually are?

In the .net world the accusations against log4net have largely been 
around the length of time to support new framework features properly 
(clr 2 lightweight locking models, and now probably lamda logging 
statements and structured logging). Would be interested to see what 
would be *gained* in a v2 port effort.

    I'm curious why log4net is not more similar to log4j(2)?  Is it
    because there is less development work being done on log4net and
    log4j had significant changes in the 2.0 version?  Any chance
    log4net might become more of a "port" of log4j(2) and thus be more
    similar?
